TylerL has said that he will release an update to VisualHub with AppleTV support once his shows up and he can play with it. I agree that Quicktime Pro is a waste of time, quite literally. It takes easily twice as long (or more) than a typical ffmpeg conversion, especially for longer content. Fullscreen playback is also a pretty lame "Pro" feature if you ask me.

@gregm. Having a 1 or 2TB RAID-0 array is idiotic if you don't have another array the same size to back it up. If one drive fails you've lost everything.

I can't wait for my Apple TV to show up now so i can try this out.

Or you can not use gimpy QuickTime and just use media player classic with Quicktime Alternative (if you're in windows, that is)

Have fun with your Microsoft locked format in the future. It is like giving your family to Microsoft for Kidnapping.Don't let the quicktime talk confuse you, everything they speak about are open formats which are even supported on open source operating systems. All are MPEG-4 flavours which is a clear, documented standards based format without vendor lock in.Serious, don't use MS codecs to save your home videos. You don't have to buy Quicktime pro, just go with MPEG. For example MPEG 2 could be used as nice archival format for HD too.

Get/Install realplayer (use versiontracker.com so it won't ask you mail), make it default for Quicktime files, enjoy fullscreen without hacks whatsoever.

I am not buying anything until SATA compatible (non propetioary, thank you) Flash-Magnetic hard disks ship for normal prices.Do a 2-pass H264 if you have like 300 gig free. Those top of the line DVR boxes come with 80 gig.

If all you're going to do is watch content, then I would agree that QuickTime Pro is a waste of money. If you do any digital video editing (with the Mac at least), then I would highly recommend spending the $30.

Nice indeed. I've heard about this month ago, but I can't remember where exactly.
